Repeat Prescriptions

Please note that we require two full working days in order to process repeat prescriptions and, if there are any queries with your prescription, it may take a little longer.

We are very happy to accept prescription requests up to two weeks early, to ensure that there is no delay to you.

You may wish to register to manage your repeat prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page. If you do so, after logging in, you will be able to see the list of medications that are on repeat. If you have any message, there is a comments box towards the bottom of the page. Please complete and click submit.

Pharmacy Services

If you have a preferred pharmacist, you can go to them and nominate them as your designated pharmacy. Subsequently, all of your prescriptions will automatically be sent to this nominated pharmacy. Please note that some prescription items, such as controlled drugs, cannot be sent electronically.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

Prescription (per item): £9.00

12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00

3-month PPC: £29.10

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
